About CIN

What is CIN?

CIN is for individuals who campaign on local (and some national) green issues. CIN is concerned with the whole of Ceredigion, Wales.

CIN stands for Caredig i Natur, which is Welsh for 'Kind to Nature'. Here nature means all green issues which affect the natural environment, from recycling to road building, from organic permaculture to animal welfare.

The Welsh word caredig was chosen because it resembles Ceredigion, the county in Wales where CIN is based.

The name is pronounced 'kin', with resonances of the relationships between all living things.

Cin was set up in 2001 as a website, and moved to a blog format in 2007.
